The Ryder Cup committee met for almost four hours but still could not decide who will captain the European team in 2010.

The committee will meet again in Dubai on Monday January 28 and plan to announce their choice the following day.

Spaniard Jose Maria Olazabal and Britons Ian Woosnam and Sandy Lyle are the frontrunners to lead Europe at Wales' Celtic Manor in 20 months' time, where they will want to regain the trophy they lost this year in the United States.
